https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193285 Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is confined to disputes on apportionment or the persons entitled to compensation, and is discretionary with the Collector, while Section 18 is limited to specified objections and subject to strict limitation. Where the State asserts that the acquired land had already vested in it before acquisition, the dispute concerns the very competence of acquiring State-owned land, not apportionment of compensation. Such a claim falls outside Sections 18 and 30, so a reference based on pre-existing State title is beyond statutory jurisdiction and cannot be entertained by the Civil Court. en-us Wed, 08 Jan 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 21 Jul 2017 17:29:22 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=193285 Section 30 of the Land Acquisition Act, 1894 is confined to disputes on apportionment or the persons entitled to compensation, and is discretionary with the Collector, while Section 18 is limited to specified objections and subject to strict limitation.
